New York State Carmina Burana Sing-a-long

Seating is limited, so a reservation is required to guarantee a seat

On Saturday, January 28, Syracuse Opera is hosting the New York State
CARMINA BURANA Sing-a-long.

Somewhat modeled on the idea of the traditional ‘MESSIAH Sing-a-long’ concept,
we intend to enhance the singing experience by a bit of in-depth discussion of the work’s challenges,
and Orff and his intentions for the piece from our perspective.

Director of Music Douglas Kinney Frost will be leading the musical elements of the event,
and Stephen Meyer, a musicologist on the faculty of Syracuse University will share insights
into Carl Orff, and place in context his interest in this no-medievalism.

Scheduled from 1-4p, the goal of the event is to have as many singers as possible revel
in this work, the first two topics listed below are meant to provide context to doing so as simply
and efficiently as possible:

*An introduction to Carl Orff

*Vocal challenges of CARMINA

*Sing-through the major choral sections of CARMINA

Any and all singers are welcome to participate. Singers must provide their own scores, which are available through a number of online music sites, including Amazon. In order to pay for the expenses of the event we are charging $10 per person or a group rate of $200 for any group over 20. Interested singers may reserve a spot by calling Syracuse Opera 315-476-7372, or by clicking the button below.
